23yo Bae, a pianist and hiphop artist, struggles with the loss of his hearing while trapped in a period piece anno 1743. Through an odd, feverish and dream-like shakespearian encounter with Ferdinand (his 'manager') and Amélie - a peer who apparently plays music closer to her heart - he learns how to get rid of the darkness in his inner zone. He slowly finds his way back to his present day self and learns to come to terms with his handicap. This is a freely interpreted short music film built around 3 music videos ('Freneny', 'Amélie' and 'Zo Zijn') based on the true events and memories of Dutch musician sor (Rosario Mussendijk) who became deaf instantly one day due to a rare condition.
